When I read his latest post a while back I thought it suggested he was ramping back up after his acknowledged absence. Upon re-reading I guess I filled in the blanks on my own - he never really said he was back at things regularly.

Are you concerned about his well being or just anxious for more interesting content and MxMo's? I don't know him so wouldn't know what's out of the ordinary.

I had interpreted that last post much the same, but you are right about it...

Both, truthfully: He's gone a month here or there before without an event (life happens, I of all people get that,) but this recent stretch has been unusually long and unusually quiet. I do truly hope he's okay and just insanely busy...

I have been discussing Mixology Monday with him since April. He wants to retire it. I told him I would it over and he agreed. He just hasn't gotten around to doing his last farewell event.

If not, I have the successor event planned (which was the other option I offered in case he wanted to retire his creation completely) which would be like MxMo with a new name. I would like to keep the MxMo legacy intact which is why I have been hesitant on this part.

I definitely miss it and disagree about the lack of enthusiasm about it. Perhaps I am blinded by my own enthusiasm -- I've been contributing to MxMo for 4 years now and would gladly do another 4 years.

I know Paul well enough that I cannot bother him in the next month for he's probably preparing for several talks at Tales of the Cocktail. August is when I'll shoot him a message about getting things done with the transfer of Mixology Monday or about me starting the successor (Tipple Tuesday). I already have the twitter and blog names reserved just in case.
